Information Regarding Make-Up Time for Chesapeake Public Schools

Due to inclement weather, the Chesapeake Public School System was closed Wednesday, February 25 through Friday, February 27, 2015.

To meet state requirements, the missed instructional time will be made up as noted below:

The teacher work day on April 3, 2015, will become a regular session day for all students and the teacher workday will be waived.

Five minutes will be added to the end of the elementary day beginning Tuesday, March 3, 2015. Morning preschool and kindergarten will operate on their regular schedule; however, afternoon preschool and kindergarten will be increased by the five minutes that is being added to the end of the day.

Five minutes will be added to the end of the middle school day beginning Tuesday, March 3, 2015.

High schools already had six minutes added to the end of their school day beginning February 25, 2015, due to previous inclement weather. An additional five minutes will be added to the end of the day - for a total of eleven minutes added to the end of the day - beginning Tuesday, March 3, 2015.

All of the additional minutes will end with the closing of school in June.

Beginning February 25, 2015, and ending June 10, 2015, six additional minutes will be added to the instructional day for high school students ONLY. The school division was closed Tuesday, February 17 through Friday, February 20, 2015, due to inclement weather. Banked time was able to be utilized for our elementary and middle school students for all four missed days; however, due to block scheduling at the high school level, instructional time needs to be made up for one of the missed days. The six additional minutes for the high school students only will make up for this lost instructional time.

School Board of the City of Chesapeake also adheres to the principles of equal opportunity in
